YKK AP Wins Architecture MasterPrize 2024 Award
Today YKK AP America was awarded an Architecture MasterPrize 2024 Award for its work on Baptist Health Care at Brent Lane in Pensacola, Fla. It was honored in the Health/Wellness category.
The Architecture MasterPrize celebrates the best in design excellence and innovation from the worlds of Architectural, Interior, and Landscape Design. It is dedicated to showcasing and promoting exceptional talent, and the value of the art and science of architecture in enriching our lives.
Baptist Health Care at Brent Lane is a full-scale health campus on a 57-acre site, with state-of-the-art facilities that include a new 10-story hospital, a six-story 178,000-square-foot Bear Family Foundation Health Center, a 48,000-square-foot Baptist Behavioral Health Unit, and a 23,000-square-foot central energy plant.
Based on the region’s history with hurricanes and tropical storms, a risk assessment and in-depth analysis led to a design that reflects resilience capabilities extending beyond code requirements and incorporates unique sustainability features – such as building orientation, glass selections, and stormwater-recovery for irrigation and cooling tower water. As such, the facilities are rated to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and severe flooding, while still remaining functional even through power and water disruptions.
Multiple YKK AP products were used throughout the space to achieve the project’s design and performance goals, including YHC 300OG Impact Resistant and Blast Mitigating Outside Glazed Curtain Wall System, YHW 60TU Pre-Glazed, Thermally Broken, Impact Window Wall System, and the Model 35H Impact Resistant and Blast Mitigating Medium Stile Entrance system with YS1N clear anodized products.
